Are subject-specific musculoskeletal models robust to parameter identification?
- This study analyzed the sensitivity of the predictions of an MRI-based musculoskeletal model (i.e., joint angles, joint moments, muscle and joint contact forces) during walking to the unavoidable uncertainties in parameter identification, i.e., body landmark positions, maximum muscle tension and musculotendon geometry. To this aim, we created an MRI-based musculoskeletal model of the lower limbs, defined as a 7-segment, 10-degree-of-freedom articulated linkage, actuated by 84 musculotendon units. We then performed a Monte-Carlo probabilistic analysis perturbing model parameters according to their uncertainty, and solving a typical inverse dynamics and static optimization problem using 500 models that included the different sets of perturbed variable values. Model creation and gait simulations were performed by using freely available software that we developed to standardize the process of model creation, integrate with OpenSim and create probabilistic simulations of movement. | |

Model of the Scapulothoracic Joint
- In this study, we developed a rigid-body model of a scapulothoracic joint to describe the kinematics of the scapula relative to the thorax. This model describes scapula kinematics with four degrees of freedom: 1) elevation and 2) abduction of the scapula on an ellipsoidal thoracic surface, 3) upward rotation of the scapula normal to the thoracic surface, and 4) internal rotation of the scapula to lift the medial border of the scapula off the surface of the thorax. The surface dimensions and joint axes can be customized to match an individual’s anthropometry. We compared the model to “gold standard” bone-pin kinematics collected during three shoulder tasks and found modeled scapula kinematics to be accurate to within 2 mm root-mean-squared error for individual bone-pin markers across all markers and movement tasks. As an additional test, we added random and systematic noise to the bone-pin marker data and found that the model reduced kinematic variability due to noise by 65% compared to Euler angles computed without the model. Our scapulothoracic joint model can be used for inverse and forward dynamics analyses and to compute joint reaction loads. The computational performance of the scapulothoracic joint model is well suited for real-time applications, is freely available as an OpenSim 3.2 plugin, and is customizable and usable with other OpenSim models. | |

MB Knee: Multibody Models of the Human Knee
- The purpose of this site is to disseminate geometry and modeling information for development of knee models, primarily in the multibody framework. MBKnee_4 is based on in vivo measurements from a 29 year old female while MBKnee_1, MBKnee_2, and MBKnee_3 are based on cadaver knees that were physically tested in a dynamic knee simulator. Knee geometries (bone, cartilage, and mensici) were derived from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ligament insertions come from MRI, the literature, and probing the cadaver knees. The site also contains information on ligament modeling, such as bundle insertion locations and zero load lengths. Examples of knee models are also provided in the form of ADAMS command files. MBKnee_4 is the most recent model and it includes representation of the medial and lateral menisci, wrapping around bone and cartilage of the meniscal horn attachments, attachments of the deep medial collateral ligament and the anterolateral ligament to the menisci, representation of the posterior oblique ligament and the anterolateral ligament, ligament zero load lengths (or reference strain) determined from experimental laxity measurements, and measured motion to deep flexion.
Funding for this work was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis an Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (RAR061698) and by the National Science Foundation (CMS-0506297). | |

Cal Poly Human Motion Biomechanics Lab Knee Joint Finite Element Model
- This project offers a subject-specific, total knee joint finite element model. In the MS thesis associated with this project, the model is used to predict articular cartilage stress and strain during the stance phase of gait. The model was partially validated with in vivo and other finite element analyses, but requires further validation and development to accurately predict articular cartilage contact parameters. Specific limitations include material properties, as well as potentially loading boundary conditions. Special attention should be paid to the "Future Work" section of the referenced thesis document in order to further develop the model for use in other studies. | |

Framework for Predictive Simulation of Treadmill Gait
- This project was divided into two tasks:
(1) We created a simple model of a block on a treadmill to understand how to develop a framework to track and predict motion between a moving platform and a body moving relative to it. We simulated the block falling, rotating, and translating to mimic heel strike, heel rocker, and translation of the foot posteriorly with respect to the treadmill.
(2) Modified the example2DWalking musculoskeletal model and MATLAB code to track and predict treadmill gait at slow, comfortable, and fast belt speeds.
What is included in the download:
(1) Block Model
- Model files (.osim) - note model file is the same for the translation & falling simulations,
but slightly different for rotation, so there are 2 different model files
- Manually generated reference coordinates data (.sto) for each tracking problem
- MATLAB scripts (.m) written to track & predict each block motion
(2) Treadmill Gait Model
- Model files (.osim) - note the treadmill speed is defined in the model so the model files
are different for each speed condition, so there are 3 different model files
- Reference coordinates data for tracking problems (.sto)
- One MATLAB script to track & predict treadmill gait (.m)- note: this script asks the user to
select their model file from the current folder, so just be sure to select the desired speed
condition
- Solutions generated from tracking & predictive problems for all three speeds
Note: To perform comparison with the overground gait simulation described in the manuscript run the example2DWalking code in the OpenSim Moco download.

Evertor and invertor muscle co-activation prevents ankle inversion injury
- The study described in this publication used musculoskeletal simulations to compare the capacity of planned invertor/evertor co-activation versus stretch reflexes with physiologic delay to prevent ankle inversion injuries. To achieve this, developed a novel model, muscle stretch controllers, and muscle reflex controllers for simulating landing in OpenSim. By freely providing the models, software plugins defining the controllers, and the resulting simulations, we hope to enable others to answer questions about landing control and injuries using simulations.
All models, data, and simulation results are provided in the downloads area of this project.
For software and sourcecode defining the novel stretch feedback controller and stretch reflex controller, see the related repository on GitHub.

Multicore parallel computing with OpenSim Moco
- In this project, we investigated the computational speed‐up obtained via multicore parallel computing relative to solving problems serially (i.e., using a single core) in optimal control simulations of human movement in OpenSim Moco. Simulations were solved using up to 18 cores with a variety of temporal mesh interval densities and using two different initial guess strategies. Considerable speed‐up can be achieved for some optimal control simulation problems in OpenSim Moco by leveraging the multicore processors often available in modern computers.
This work is described in the paper "Computational performance of musculoskeletal simulation in OpenSim Moco using parallel computing" which is available on the Publications page. Models and complete working examples are provided on the Downloads page. This project was supported by a Rackham Graduate Student Research Grant. | |

Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling (NMSM) Pipeline
- <div style="display:inline-block"><a href="https://nmsm.rice.edu"><img src="https://nmsm.rice.edu/img/nmsm-pipeline-social-card.jpg" style="float:left;max-width:calc(100% - 40px);"></a></div>
Full project information is available at: https://nmsm.rice.edu. Please direct any inquiries about the NMSM Pipeline to us by posting your questions on this SimTK project forum or emailing nmsm@rice.edu.
Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling (NMSM) Pipeline is a set of tools for personalizing models and designing treatments for movement impairments and other pathologies.
The NMSM Pipeline consists of two toolsets:
Model Personalization - Personalize joint, muscle-tendon, neural control, and ground contact model properties.
Treatment Optimization - Design treatments using personalized models and an optimal control methodology.
At this time, Treatment Optimization requires the use of <a href="https://www.gpops2.com/">GPOPS-II optimal control solver</a>.
The NMSM Pipeline is written in MATLAB to lower the barrier for entry and to facilitate accessibility to the core codebase. We encourage users to modify the code to meet their needs.
The core codebase and examples are available to download for use in research. At this time, we ask that you wait to publish any work that uses the NMSM Pipeline until the journal article reference for the software is available. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions.
If you need help or want to start a discussion, please use the SimTK forum for this project.
Note: This project is a living entity. Updates will be made available as the Pipeline, examples, and tutorials are developed further and improved. | |

Acetaminophen Induced Liver Injury
- The AILI project is a type of In-Silico Liver (ISL) project, which consists of a body of Java code used and reused for exploring hypothetical liver mechanisms. For AILI, the liver mechanisms are those that cause cellular damage, specifically necrosis, because of exposure to acetaminophen. Moreover, the model, a mouse analog, is used for virtual experimentation to explore and explain AILI phenomena, analogous to wet-lab experimentation. A recent addition to this project is studying the disconnect between in vitro and in vivo wet-lab experiments by comparing and contrasting virtual Mouse and Culture Analogs. | |

A Cell-centered, Agent-based Framework with flexible Granularity
- Mechanistic explanations of cell-level phenomena rarely study behavior from a cell's perspective. Agent-based models lend themselves to model from an individual's perspective, and we extend that with a framework which utilizes a cell's perspective in an off-lattice environment. We aim to help increase the understanding of biological phenomena through our Delaunay and Voronoi off-lattice agent-based, discrete event framework. We focus on biological cells and expand on existing cell- and agent-centered methods by offering a new perspective in an off-lattice environment. | |
